Why?! Wtf

Why?! Wtf

"The amp You ordered will not be delivered to Europe."

They kept my 4499€ for 2+ months though.

That's awful. It sounds like your dealer took the order without even knowing if they were going to be allocated any amps.

Sounds like it. When I had this on order I had one chance to buy this from another shop but I didn't because I thought I'd get this.

Would be interesting to know if they really delivered all of these to the shops or has something come up? I've seen 2-3 for sale on Reverb which is kinda low number compared to the 200 they built. I would have assumed there would be more flippers. Also very few Youtube clips floating around.

i don't know, 200 amps isn't really that many.

How many guitarists post on YouTube? 1 in 100? 1000? 10000? If it's 1 in 100 then there would be 2 people posting clips.

Solar released about 20 of those European Master Series X guitars, and I've only ever seen 1 video and then two years later one for sale listing.

Fortin limited run amps never seen to have many clips posted either, and half the time they are it's the real owner lending them to a demo channel to test out.

I will say it does seem Mesa didn't send a bunch out to reviewers before release, Kyle Bull was just allowed to order one, and they had Pete Thorne and one or two other launch demos. Probably because the amps were all going to sell out anyway so they didn't need to build a large Internet hype.

I posted a few vids on my IG but they was just iphone clips, so far there hasnt been alot of videos by people, a handful on youtube. Theres been some flippers, i seen 10 of the amps sold on reverb but prices ranged from $5500 to 9k in the completed listings. I think alot of people are like myself and once they got the amp they really liked it and didnt wanna sell it because we cant replace it for what we paid if we decide to buy another one later down the line.

Looks like the shop was promised the amp by Mesa/Boogie. I wrote the shop an angry e-mail and they asked my permission to send that to Mesa/Boogie. Now we’re waiting for Mesa’s reply…

Happened to me as well. After getting the run around from one ordered with AMS, I found a dealer that was allotted two. He got one in and the next was due to be delivered then sent to me. Mesa totally forgot about the second amp the dealer ordered and said sorry nothing we can do.

Oh crap. This clears it up that I won't be seeing the amp.

Complete silence from Mesa's side. Might be the best option to call Mesa's HQ and try to get their comment.

For what it's worth, their email portal thing has been garbage ever since Gibson took over. I can't seem to get ahold of them via email anymore. Phone does work, though.

Random side tangent: Gibson took down all of Mesa's support articles and tech info they previously hosted on Zendesk, so now that seems to be lost forever...

 

[Jakem]

Anyone have a direct e-mail to Mesa HQ? Now it looks like the info@... address is getting forwarded to somewhere else.

@Jakem I communicated with them in early August using their regular online system, however in their last replay, they added this to their message:

"Just a heads up that we'll be transitioning off this service platform in the next few days, and I won't be able to receive further messages from you here. If you have any further questions, please give us a call at 707-778-6565, ext. 1 or 2. You can also submit a new support ticket after our new service platform goes live Tuesday."

I would give them a phone call to get you started

Called Mesa and they were great. We will see how this goes.

Got a stupid question. I was moving things around my home music room today and noticed that my Mark IIC+ has "sound" coming from it even at zero on master 1. Is this a normal behavior of those amps? Lead is quiet on zero but not the first channel. It made me scratch my head

Every tube amp I've ever had still makes a little bit of noise with the volume at 0. My guess is the way Master volumes sent the signal to ground a little bit still gets around it in the circuit. When you have the volume up your real signal quickly overwhelms the little bit sneaking through.

Thanks! I've owned many tube amps over my playing journey but I never paid attention to that detail until yesterday when it happened accidentally while plugging everything back together. I still learn new stuff every day Thanks for your reply.
